Style Separator and Automatic Numbering
When adding the Style Separator to a paragraph with Automatic Numbering, A
"number" is continued to the second part of the paragraph (after the separator), although you can't see it. This causes 2 problems. First, the next paragraph number is skipped (i.e. 1.3 instead of 1.2) and second, if you remove the number, the left margins will reset to 0". Does anyone know of a way to stop this from happening? |

The point of the style separator is to separate two different styles. In
this case, you should be using a numbered style for the first part of the paragraph and an unnumbered style for the second. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks. I found a way around it by creating a macro that applies the
separator and then modifies the style after to either Body Text 1, 2, 3, or 4, which I customized to fit the numbering schemes. Thanks again. "Suzanne S.
